GR III Firmware Update- Registering Touch AF (Yuka)

Seattle is completely in autumn now. Autumn leaves are beautiful, but it's a rainy season too. More people are wearing coats in the city, and I started wearing down jackets as well.

It's been so fast- it was on this day last year that I moved to the United States. Recently, I’m starting to enjoy my hobby, mountain climbing, again.

The GR III firmware update ARA wrote about, this time, I’d like to write about registering [Touch AF] along with some photos from my Mount Rainier climbing in the rain.

I was fascinated because I had requested this function in my previous article. I’m glad I mentioned it.

To be specific;
[Crop] and [Touch AF] can be assigned to ADJ.
[Touch AF] can now be assigned to Fn button.

If [Touch AF] is assigned to either ADJ or Fn button, the following four options are available when selecting [Touch AF] in the menu, where you can easily switch settings.
-AF Point
-AF Point+Focus
-AF point+Focus+Shoot
-Off

In my case, I assign [Crop] to the Fn and [Touch AF] to one of the ADJs. Basically, I assign "AF Point+Focus” to the [Touch AF] setting because when shooting a flower or something on a mountain, it is often the case I focus with [Touch AF] first and then change the exposure and other parameters with the ADJ lever.

However, when shooting an animal or a child, I want instantaneous speed, so use "AF Point+Focus+Shoot".

I really appreciate this update because it makes it easier to switch between them!
